Wings

Lia’s mom is an illustrator. One autumn afternoon, Lia asks her mom to paint her portrait, but with wings. After numerous attempts at different kinds of wings (all beautifully illustrated), Lia’s mom and Lia herself understand that she doesn’t yet know what her wings are like. That night Lia experiences a very special dream, and when she wakes, discovers it has given her the key to her wings. The book has been described as a metaphor for the creative process itself. It is also the story of a daughter and mother, of self-discovery, and of empowering kids to connect with their innermost dreams and desires, and find their own voice.

Wings is an IBBY Honor List book, selected for its outstanding illustrations amongst children’s books published in Israel.
